Exciting times are ahead for Monster Hunter Now players as Niantic introduces a new feature in testing called Monster Outbreaks. This test phase is designed to gather player feedback and fine-tune the feature before it becomes a permanent addition to the game.
When Is the Monster Outbreaks Testing in Monster Hunter Now?
The testing phase for Monster Outbreaks is scheduled from April 26th to 27th, with two sessions each day. The event will run from 10:00 to 10:59 a.m. and again from 3:00 to 3:59 p.m., local time, on both Saturday and Sunday. During these specific hours, certain areas on the map will become outbreak points, swarming with 8-star Black Diablos. The objective is to team up with other players at these spots and take down a total of 100 Black Diablos within the one-hour window at each location.
To participate, you must have reached at least Hunter Rank (HR) 11. Note that the party feature won't be available; only in-person group hunts will count towards the goal. Outbreak points will be marked with a special icon on the map, and you can tap on them to view details and sign up on the roster to coordinate with other players.

The challenge is intriguing: if you and three other hunters take down one Black Diablos, it counts as four towards the 100 needed to complete the goal. If your group reaches the 100-mark before the time runs out, you can continue hunting Black Diablos for the remainder of the hour.
Successful completion of the 100-monster goal rewards your group with 3 Black Diablos Tailcases, 3 Ridges, 3 Primeshells, 3 Marrows, and 2,000 Zenny. Additionally, using the sign-up roster at the outbreak points can earn you a special Outbreak Test I Medal.
